About me
The person behind Magic Maru
I'm Maru, a psychologist, yoga teacher and Ecstatic Dance DJ. I create spaces to explore through the body, with thoughtful guidance to help you make sense of what emerges.
Each encounter is shaped around the people in the room: some stay close to the mat, others open into conversation afterwards. What stays the same is how I hold them — unhurried, concrete, and focused on what each person can take with them.

Book on WhatsAppMy approach
Space to move. Support to integrate.
Movement can bring sensations, emotions and familiar patterns into awareness. My approach makes room to pause, notice and reflect on that experience.
As a psychologist, I bring attentive listening, respect for personal boundaries and support in finding words for what arises. Together, we can explore how those experiences connect with everyday life and identify meaningful next steps.
Choice
Invitations to participate at your own pace, with room to pause or adapt.
Listening
Space for individual experiences, without pressure to share.
Integration
Opportunities for reflection and putting experiences into words, according to the session's format.
Each session offers a different balance of movement and reflection. You're welcome to participate without sharing your experience aloud. When something calls for further exploration, I offer space to find words, make connections and consider how to continue that process.
I hold space for you to move, feel and let go.
